Remember population movements from South and Central America towards the USA are caused by - the USA. Meddling in their elections; foisting right wing juntas on them; aiding genocidal warbands (the Contras); controlling their resources via America fruit and oil companies etc.
Central America asylum seekers pose serious challenge—our response must enforce border security, be compassionate, & work to solve root problem which has been exacerbated by decades of US exploitation & regime change wars. Closing border not the solutionhttps://www.npr.org/2019/04/02/708999622/southern-border-closure-would-have-consequences-for-u-s-economy …

All of that has destabilised these countries and forced poverty upon their populations. They are bound to go in search of a better life. And there is poetic justice that they pay Uncle Sam a visit and demand payback

Thank you. There wouldn't be a refugee crisis without decades of exploitation and destruction of the nations these refugees are fleeing from. This is on the US as the US created the problem.

Not only that, but closing the boarder will only affect lawful boarder crossing. Closing the boarder will INCREASE illegal crossings.

Start by ending the bullshit drug war That is about 40% of why we have refugees... people fleeing that violence. (Much of the rest is poverty and effects of climate change)

Then tell me what exactly were supposed to do?It should be a last resort but we shouldn't be here in the 1st place because this was Congress's job to figure out. To pass immigration reform. Sadly, they seem to be too busy using it as a political football while we pay the price.

But, the needs of America MUST come first. As an elected official of the USA, you understand this....RIGHT?

Also addressing the root problem of mass immigration is in our interest.

Starting to like you mrs. gabbard. Don't be a typically Dem though. Go to the border yourself. Talk to the BP agents. You'll see the mess that is there. btw...it's not asylum, it's the free stuff they want.

I’ve lived in a border area most of my life,have had a lot of business dealings with immigrants and found the to be very hard working and honest. I’ve been around plenty of born citizens who are capable of work and choose government assistance instead.

Close the border, only commercial trade traffic permitted. Close it now, quick ASAP. But we can sure send some illegals to live with you if you want, love them, then pay for them. PERIOD.
